Homily given on the 9th Sunday after Pentecost by Fr. Robert Rankin. The Gospel reading for the Divine Liturgy came from Matthew 14:22-34. In this Gospel, Peter walks on the water towards Jesus, but takes his eye off Jesus and begins to sink into the water.
Fr. Rankin reflected on that Gospel reading and spoke about the importance of our having both faith and works. Faith and works are not opposites of each other, as many Protestants believe. Rather, they are both necessary for our salvation and that is what the Church teaches us.
